The easiest way to cut your grocery bill in half is by using manufacturers coupons combined with the best sales at local West Michigan stores. Normally, this takes a lot of work to create a winning shopping list for your family.

Each week, SavingsAngel.com combines more than 2,000 products on sale at local grocery and drug stores with their enormous database of manufacturer coupons -- which are found in Sunday's Grand Rapids Press and, sometimes, online. This combination results in access to more than 300 products each week for 50 percent off or better.

Sunday marked Father’s Day; a day set aside to honor fathers, a day to remember what our fathers taught us and to reflect on what we're teaching our children. If you’re a father or grandfather, remember: Your children and grandchildren are always watching. Lead by example. When you do not, children struggle to learn on their own, with mixed results.

One of the most critical areas in which children study their parents is how to handle money. Be wise with what you've been given. Whether by making smart investments, using coupons on groceries or making saving a priority. Knowing how to handle money correctly is a vital life skill. Even if your children are grown, no one is too old for wise counsel. I am certainly grateful to my father for his example of wise stewardship.

If we all chose to lead by example in all areas of life, the world would indeed be better off. And our children, especially in later years, will thank us for being worthy of watching and following. Thank you to all positive male role models for everything you have done and will do for us.
